I have been trying to reply to comments from previous chapters for about an hour now…this feckin app won’t let me. I’ve tried on my iPad where literally nothing shows up, on my iPhone where it says every comment is not there (gaslighting me like shit?) and even my damn Galaxy phone where it just crashes. I do not know what is happening and I’m about ready to throw all my devices at the wall.

@ClytemnestrasScribe usually, I reply on the website I find it easier. like I mentioned before I’m totally blind and the accessibility is not compatible with the app so I’m not allowed to really comment on the app anyway. but yes, I usually comment through the website because it’s easier. Wattpad got a lot of bugs going on tripping up.

I don't know what the week is going to look like for me, but I am back in the hospital.
          
          The final chapter of 'counterfeit' was written while I was in here so who knows? Maybe if they make me sit still that means I'll be able to write again. We'll find out tonight.
          
          I don't know if this means I'm facing the possibility of not only spending Christmas away from home, but also spending it in a hospital room. I don't know the exact date today I have to check! Last time it was almost an entire week so I don't know what it's gonna be this time.
          
          But I am not dying or anything, of course. Just bad luck and a pain in the ass bug that won't go down without a fight.
          
          Anyway, hope you guys are having a better luck!
          
          Happy holidays and merry whichever occasion that doesn't offend you!

Dear Reader,
          
          Almost a year after ā€˜counterfeit’ was posted, it’s finally over.
          
          I don’t know how aware you are with how this came to be—but that idea started out as a joke. I honestly thought CB was…er, not straight. Like gay bestie vibe for K, you know? But my friend L thought it would be hilarious and it really was just something to giggle about at first…then it became a thing. 
          
          So, I started writing and it wasn’t meant to be serious until I began doing proper research on it and it took me to places I didn’t expect. 
          
          For anyone curious, ā€œThe State of Affairsā€ by Esther Perel is the book I based nearly all of my research on. I learned so much from her, I continue to learn and I really am grateful for discovering her work. She has really helped me grow as a person.
          
          I want to thank L because she really is the reason why all my stories exist. She’s a wonderful friend and she encourages me in the best and worst ways. I trust her with all of this because she has never steered me wrong. I am grateful for her friendship.
          
          Then there’s I and F—who are just as bad as L when it comes to feeding my worst impulses. It’s always a fun ride with those three. Thank you for the laughs and for staying.
          
          To Beasty as well as user kamalaismybaendwife—for their help on the very first chapter.
          
          This has been so wonderful and I really will miss this book. Thank you to all who gave this story a chance and those who stuck with it until the end. I appreciate everyone for being so kind and for being so patient. I hope the final chapter did not disappoint. I’ll see you on the next one—hopefully!

honestly, looking back on my first impression of this story, i did not have high hopes at all. i hate infedelity and almost no one has ever been able to write a story that includes it that doesn't make me hate all parties. somehow you did it! this story was a rollercoaster that i'll probably re read to feel all the emotions all over again. you're dedication and growth show through every chapter, thank you for this book.

I agree, I always felt like CB was definitely not playing for Kamala’s team, yk… But this story was beautiful and complex, and I enjoyed it so very much. You are such a gifted writer. Thank you for sharing your craft with us! The dynamic between Kamala and Doug is so realistic to how I would envision their love for each other and you did such an amazing job portraying that. (Please add an update for indelible)

@ClytemnestrasScribe Honestly? I couldn't read all of the story, but I did read a lot of the Dougala parts. Regardless, your writing is wonderful, and I hope you realize how much you inspire people like me to publish on here.

Hey girl! I hope your good. I just wanted to drop by and say we love and miss you. I will probably start to reread some of your stories soon. Your life sounds crazy. Do what you need to do for your mental health. I’m willing to wait.

lillyofthevalley21

I’m good and so glad you posted! You write so well and I love all of your ideas for stories. Your ideas are so unique. I can’t quite put my finger on it… You kinda let her suffer a bit (or a lot) in every story, but that somehow makes them so special. So emotional! I’m dying to read the next chapter of indelible. I love a lot of stories from several writers, but this one is one of my top favorites.

Hey there :) 
            I’m good. How about you?
            Things are finally settling down for us and thankfully so right before things get nutty again with the upcoming holidays. 
            *sigh* I really miss y’all, too. I have been trying to write since before leaving the US. So, I am doing a lot of reading for research and writing and deleting drafts. lol 
            Thank you so much for being so patient with me. I really hope I am able to pay that back very soon. <3

Hey, speaking for the group here, we miss your stories! How are you doing? 

ClytemnestrasScribe

All good but I’m still in limbo—have to stay in town for a funeral and my grandmother’s birthday. Hoping to leave before Thanksgiving, but I’ll be dealing with a lot of things for the family and continue to spend my time locked in a room with lawyers.
            
            I already didn’t like the dead guy and like him even less now—I had to cut my birthday trip short because of him. Can’t help but wonder why, after all these years, his wife managed to finally kill him at the most inconvenient time for me.
            
            I do miss writing very much and I am becoming a little unstable due to not being able to do so. My poor husband has had to watch me throw a bottle of perfume across the room today. I am becoming a menace. I need an outlet. Drafting and plotting has held me off but I’m afraid not for long.

@ClytemnestrasScribe why don't Wattpad have notifications for board replies, that's so inconvenient. I'm super glad to hear that you're alright!

I just wanted to check-in and say I hope you're okay, as I've noticed that you've deleted your twitter account.

CateCup89

@ClytemnestrasScribe Oh that's good to hear! I hope you had a great birthday. 
            
            Selfishly, I'm glad you're back online, although an enforced socials break is probably a blessing in disguise - something I should probably do myself at some point but can't find the discipline!

That’s so sweet of you! Thank you for noticing and for taking the time to check here. 
            
            Everything is fantastic! I was traveling with my husband and some friends for my birthday—people who help me handle my life made the decision to take my socials offline. I didn’t know until today. lol but we’re back! 
            
            This was very kind of you. I really appreciate it.

Who knows where I am right now?
          
          If you follow me on twitter you probably have some idea—I had to fly back just before my husband’s birthday. Then he followed me because we are unhealthy like that. We celebrated his day in another state. It was fun but he had a slight cough although we didn’t think much of it.
          
          Until we had to abruptly return to the city because he got sicker which is bad because he’s got health issues. Yeah, it sucks.
          
          Anyway, spent some time in the hospital. Missed the London stop where apparently wonderful things happened, but I’m not a widow so that’s a preferred scenario, alright?
          
          What I’m trying to say is, writing hasn’t been…happening.
          
          This book tour has honestly messed me up in ways I didn’t expect and October continues to do its thing where it keeps trying to kill Mr. Scribe. He is fine tho—doing better which is great. We might be staying put for a while…which is bad because this place makes me drink.
          
          (lol goddamn, if I ever needed to dunk my head into a barrel of bourbon…)
          
          But if you’re wondering—yes, I’m still going to finish my books and have two more coming (only after I finish at least one).
          
          If you’re still around when I am finally able to return then that’ll be fantastic, but I understand if you can’t stick around.

Girl I miss you, when are you returning?

lillyofthevalley21

I’m glad you’re back and I actually like book tour era. I feel like she’s getting bolder and stronger with every stop. Can’t wait to see her at my stop. I switch between the book and the audio. I hate that my suspicions about her feelings after the election are affirmed in the book because I was hoping it didn’t hit her as hard as I feared. However, the book and everything she’s doing seems like a reasonable way to deal with her grief. I truly hope she’s doing okay.

@Hannalolz12 I’m just picking and choosing which vids from the book tour to watch. The rest is being archived for later. When I am ready. I literally have the audiobook on all my devices, just waiting for the moment when I can go yeah, let’s go. And I already know what’s in the book…but hearing her say the words…my heart.

@ClytemnestrasScribe same but at the same time I’m yearning to hear her tell the story? Ugh. I hate it.

So, I am officially on break.
          
          I was quite nervous about posting the latest chapter, completely forgetting it was for the least liked book and I realized I really didn’t have to worry. But hey, now at least I have another thing to laugh about. Ha!
          
          See you guys in September—hopefully I will have time to write between home and our trip back to the states. We’ll see.
          
          Anyway, yall have a good one!
